My Go-To Avocado Toast

Hello, I have not made this yet, but will do so very soon. I ove fresh avocados so this light meal will be a definite go to for me. Thanks so much for sharing. i look forward to more of your recipes.

Wow! So simple and so delicious! I already keep your parm recipe made up in the fridge, so I could make this so quickly. Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Just made this! Awesome!

Can’t wait to try your simple, wonderful recipe! Been having Avo toast a lot lately,
Recently introduced it to my husband,, now he’s addicted as well. I have been making it as follows: I mash ripe avocados
with a dash of garlic salt and chili powder
then pile it on lightly buttered sourdough toast. The flavors all blend to make something delectable. I guess to make it vegan you could omit the butter?? I will however look forward to trying yours everyone else can’t be wrong!

Buy lots of avocados on sale, mash, and freeze. Thaw in microwave. Can’t tell it was frozen!
Tip: freeze in thin layer in Ziploc for easier dividing into portions.

Will using non vegan parmesan have it turn out the same?

Smoked paprika is also amazing on avo toast!

This sounds great! I’ve been making with garlic salt and red pepper flakes, and topping with a sliced boiled egg over Dave’s Killer Bread 21 grain. I will have to try the Parmesan!

I’m a big fan of Happy Campers GF bread in Portland, OR. Tastes just like ‘real’ bread. I’ve also come to appreciate avocado late in life. Love it on top of scrambled eggs with taco sauce or in a fresh spring roll with tofu/jicama/cucumber (and a mean cashew butter/chili sauce mix)!

I recently learned a better way to make avocados last longer after slicing- store in fridge in a container with red onion. It works!

I’m in my late 40s, and only just tried avocado for the first time a couple years ago. Man, I got a lot of catching up to do. They are AMAZING. I like to smash up half an avocado with tuna and make a sandwich. Tasty, easy, and better for me than my usual tuna sandwich.

Can’t wait to try this. Especially the red pepper flakes. I bet that is a wonderful combination.

I absolutely love avocado toasts so much. I love your recipe, it’s really cool. I have some of my own so head over to my blog to see what ingredients I use :) I dedicated a post just for that.

I love avocado toast

Hi, where do you get organic nutritional yeast? Also some website states it is not vegan but vegetarian. Which one is true? So confused.

Love this, simple but creative.

Thank you for all of your delish recipies! UDIs gf bread used to be my favorite until I tried Schar honey whole grain. So good!!
Thanks again.

Thanks for posting. This is my go to as well. I put a slice of vegan cheese on the bread, top with the avocado, sprinkle with black salt and have another slice of vegan cheese on the other slice of bread. Pop in the toaster oven till the cheese looks like it’s starting to melt and wa-la! Deliciousness!!!!!!!

Look so nice. I will try to cook it.

Avo toast is one of my favorite things in the world!

I love the Ezekiel, sprouted 100% whole grain bread and the Ezekiel sprouted whole grain raisin bread. They are not gluten free, but they are made with freshly sprouted live grains and contains no flour! This bread is also organic! I eat this toasted with peanut butter or avocado for breakfast as well! Paired with some fruits and it lasts me for hours!

In my experience the best way to store open avocados is in water- put the avocado half in a mason jar full of water. It will stay green in the water. just dry it off before you mash it or cut it

Always have loved ‘avocado toast’ til gluten intolerant; my sub is Wasa Sourdough Rye as the fermentation apparently helps!
Anyway, wanted to share my BEST way of keeping perfect avocados perfect for days, no browning and still sweet for chocolate pudding (a staple must in my home): once you know the avocado is perfect pop it in the fridge–whole, period. 2-4 days it’s still nutty-sweet and undetectable in pudding. ;) Judy

Haven’t tried the avocado/toast yet, but made your Parmesan cheese=love it, it’s fantastic. Use it on lots of things!

That looks reeeeally good! We prefer Udi’s bread too. Whole Foods has a decent gluten-free loaf as well, but it’s a little crumbly. I’m definitely trying avocado toast for breakfast tomorrow!

I have made a slightly different version of this before I saw your recipe. Vegenaise, sliced avocado, sprinkle of lime juice and red pepper flakes. 1/2 avocado per piece of toast.
Looking forward to trying avocado mashed! Easier to eat. Will keep higher amount of avocado, as I love it so much I eat it out of shell with spoon.
Thanks for the GF bread recommendations, and including use of egg info for those of us who don’t eat egg. I’m new to your site and excited to have found you!

Trader Joe’s GF breads are pretty darn tasty! Their raisin cinnamon has become my go to fav for breakfast toast. Haven’t yet tried their other GF options.

I’m going to list an alternative way I do this same thing because that’s what everyone in the comments does on food blogs. Nvm, I like this exactly as is. Thanks Dana. -Z.

You could put some chopped onions along with a few drops of lemon juice… It really uplifts the taste in my opinion…

Whoever says avocado toast isn’t a recipe CLEARLY has never brunched before. I LOVE chili flakes, turmeric, pepper, scrambled tofu and spinach on my avocado toast!

Yum, this is really really good. I am having this for my breakfast as I key this message. Love your minimalist recipes and have shared some of my favorites on facebook with my friends! Keep them coming….

I love marmite, tahini, smashed avo and sesame seeds on crunchy toast (or rice cakes). YUM!

I just put half an avacado in the fridge wondering how I would eat it & what do you know I see this lovely recipe! Yay!

Ohmygosh yes.

My husband and I have a standard Saturday-morning-brunch-at-home arrangement – we’re starting a business together and Saturday brunch is our main planning time (because whyonearth would you not have a business meeting over amazing food, always).

Avocado is so often on the menu. I might surprise him with this one soon!

Amazing recipe! Avo toast is my all time fave!

I enjoyed this recipe very much. I am also a fan of Udi’s bread. When you mentioned New Cascadia bread out of Portland, are you speaking of Maine or Oregon? I live outside of Portland, ME and haven’t seen this bread yet. Thanks for all you wonderful tips too!!

OMG!!! I think I am addicted! Excellent use of avocado. I would only add fresh-cracked black pepper.

Have you tried Three Bakers bread? They have several great kinds (including some super seedy and grainy types), and in my opinion, blow Udi’s out of the water!

Just made this after my morning run!! Absolutely delicious :) Love Udi’s bread! Thanks, Dana!

I’m partial to seeded breads right now – I’ve got a delicious rye bread made in a Polish style from the supermarket ^_^ Never thought of pairing avo with some vegan parmesan before – thanks for the tip!!

Ooh, I didn’t think of trying it with parmesan! I put a spin on my avocado toast lately by making a simple guacamole. I just add a spoonful or two of salsa, a bit of lime juice, and a bit of cilantro. Really adds a nice flare. :)

Yum! I love putting jam, avocado, and a little sea salt. I also love the WF gluten free bread.

Thanks for posting a seemingly too simple to post recipe. I just had it for lunch and it was so delicious! I wouldn’t have thought to put the vegan parmesan on the avocado. I had some handy because I am making the alfredo tonight! Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for all the great recipes!

Really nice, I added some cayenne to kick it up even more. Helped my sinus headache go away.

Sounds really good. I am wondering, and alternative can also be to replace the vegan parmesan and red pepper flakes with, nutritional yeast and chilli flake #fire – Thanks for the recipe.

Wooww….it is looking damn yummy.
Thanks a lot for this recipe.

Delicious & Simple! Surprisingly, I preferred the pre-grated, store bought Parmesan (in a container) to my fresh grated Parmesan Reggiano in this case. For a variation on this, I like to use Tabasco sauce and cook an egg in the center.

Pepper flakes!!!! Yummy I’ve added tomato when I eat avocados. I’ll have to try the parm now??

New Cascadia is a godsend. Nothing else compares – especially for those of us who are vegan and can’t eat Udi’s or Franz. We buy a loaf and pack it when we travel. There is no substitute. So yum. ?

Try avocado, fried sliced tofu, srichacha sauce – amazing!

Could you use Nutritional Yeast instead of veg parm?

Aw….one of the things I liked about the email subscription to your blog was that we didn’t have to click on a link to have the recipe pop up in another page– I can’t see them otherwise (pop-ups like that are blocked at where I work, and I don’t have internet or a smart phone to see them at home). Is this a permanent change? Please say no, and go back to having the full post show in the email!

By the way, either Serious Eats or Food52 did a really good “science experiment” earlier this summer where they compared multiple ways of keeping avocados from turning brown. I can’t find it now but if anyone wants to look for it, it was a good read!

Oh Dana! You are one of my favorite people and we haven’t even met! Your muffin recipes are life-changing! Avo toast is a daily thing for me and it’s about half of my Instagram. Ooops! Your version looks pretty damn perfect. So cool that there is a g-f bakery with so many delish bread options near you. Looking forward to more avocado awesomeness from you =)

Born in CA so I love avocado! It is a requirement isn’t it? LOL You live in or close to Portland? I’m assuming OR. That’s the city I grew up in–Mt Tabor area mostly. Beautiful city! I live in the armpit of TX now! I’ve had toast/’cado many times but of course not with your parm sub. Sounds yum,yum, yummy!

Loving seeing your go-to (and so simple/minimal) recipes lately!! ❤️

I like avocado toast and I like vegan parmesan, but had never thought of combining the two so I say it’s worth a recipe!

Udis multigrain is my favorite GF bread. Tasty, soft, toast-able, easy to digest!
